World-leading researchers, including Nobel Laureates and rising young stars, examine some of
the most important and fundamental questions at the forefronts of modern science, philosophy,
EFTA_R1_01477641
EFTA02414655
and theology, taking into account recent discoveries from a range of fields. This fascinating book
is ideal for anyone seeking answers to deep questions about the universe and human life. The
remarkable career of Charles H. Townes, inventor of the maser and laser for which he shared the
1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, has spanned seven decades. His interests have ranged from the
origin of the Universe to the structure of molecules, always focusing on the nature of human life.
Honouring his work, this book explores the most basic questions of science, philosophy, and the
nature of existence: How did the Universe begin? Why do the fundamental constants of nature
have the values they do? What is human consciousness, and do we have free will?
